"My limbs are not golden, and I am not golden; only by the touch of Rādhikā's limbs do I appear golden — and she never touches anyone except the son of Nanda Mahārāja."
Mahāprabhu answers Rāmānanda's question: you know My līlā, tattva and rasa, and so it is to you that I have shown this form. Then He points to His golden body with a strange explanation: this colour is not My own. It comes from Rādhikā's touch — and her touch is given to the son of Nanda alone. From here follows what Gurudeva is leading to: the golden form of Gaurāṅga is the proof of who He really is. My ātmā, My mind and My body are saturated through and through with Rādhikā's ecstasy.
